Shoes

[The Shoes] [mumbling] [cell phone ringing] Yes? Borja? You weren't asleep, were you? No, no...I was... I was cleaning. Yeah. Even you don't believe that. Hey, Look. I'm at the party already. I bought you some beautiful shoes. I want you to put them on and get over here now. Let's see if you react for once. Good evening. Good evening. What's wrong with you? Nothing. Nothing's wrong. Hey...Sorry to hear you got let go. Well, you know...what can you do? It's never too late to start again. I know that. You look very elegant. Pardon me but... You have a hole in your shoe. Well. The gas... I left the gas on. [cell phone ringing] Yes? Borja, where are you?! I've been waiting half an hour. I'm at home. You don't say. You've been at home for the last six months. It's just I forgot to take out the trash. Look, you haven't been drinking again, have you? No, it's not that. Dear, the shoes hurt. I can't wear them. Borja, don't be such a loser! Look, I'm doing this for your own good, understand? Put on the shoes! [snoring] [cell phone ringing] Yes? Borja, where are you? I'm sorry...I fell asleep. And who's at the door? I don't know. Some nosy neighbor. I'll call you right back, ok? I won't be a sec. What do you want?? About the gas... Is everything OK? Yes, everything's fine, really, don't worry. Those gas lines... Somebody should come to clean them. Something could happen any day now. Clean them? Yes, since my husband died, no one's come to do it and these things, you know... if you don't take care of them, they go against you. Yes...that's true. You're right! They have to be cleaned. Are you going to clean them? Look, thanks, I appreciate your concern, but right now I really need to be alone. Goodbye. Darling! You were right! The shoes... You were right, I have to look to the future... You were right! I feel great! I feel really great! I've never felt as great as I do right now. Good evening, Paca. My, how nice you look! And... What nice-looking shoes! Thank you... ...They're new. They're new! [sobbing] Fin [Subtitles: Paul Martin]
